r—Revised.
1/ During Larch and April changes from a year ago reflect in part the fact that last
year Easter was on March 23 while this year it was on April 17. For this
reason it is estimated that in comparison with last year allowance should be •
made for a decrease in sales of about 6 per cent for the month of March as a
whole and for a corresponding increase for the month 'of April as a whole.
